Ubuntu announced the 10.04 Netbook Edition and Ubuntu for ARM products
18 months ago, on April 29, 2010. At that time, Ubuntu committed to
ongoing security and critical fixes for a period of 18 months for these
specific products.

This support period is now ending, and on October 29, 2011 the 10.04
Netbook Edition and Ubuntu for ARM products will no longer be supported.
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Desktop and Server products continue to be supported.

The upgrade path from Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook and ARM is to Ubuntu 10.10.
Instructions and caveats for the upgrade may be found at

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for Desktop and Server products continues to be
actively supported with security updates and select high-impact bug
fixes. All announcements of official security updates for Ubuntu
releases are sent to the ubuntu-security-announce mailing list,
information about which may be found at

https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-security-announce.

Since its launch in October 2004 Ubuntu has become one of the most
highly regarded Linux distributions with millions of users in homes,
schools, businesses and governments around the world. Ubuntu is Open
Source software, costs nothing to download, and users are free to
customise or alter their software in order to meet their needs.

DIY: Location mapping Part 3 – Google Earth live updates

Trails Munich Horizon

Trails Munich Horizon

This is part 3 of the DIY Location mapping. This time we will integrate with google earth to see live updates from our devices, we tracked with part 1.

Therefore I have had the tracking running for some days with an update interval of 15 minutes, so that I does not drain my battery too much. By enhancing the update frequency you will get fine grained location data.

We need to add the following PHP script to deliver a valid KML file, which is loaded by another KML file. The second KML file is loaded into Google Earth and does poll data via the PHP scripts to enable the live updates. Continue reading →

Location based services needs to be switched on

Inspired by the question in the http://fanbóys.org/ podcast, I will write down, what I have up and running for over two years now.

Goal: Have a background method running, which collects your location during the day and displays it on a map and has some export functionality.

Ingredients: An Apple iPhone, an Apple ID, activated Find My iPhone, a LAMP system and additional Google Maps. Continue reading →

How to renew SSL certificates for courier pop3 and imap server on Debian or Ubuntu?

Posted on by
Reply

This articles describes the renewal of SSL certificates for courier pop3 and imap server. This is nescessary e.g. when the certificates are expired or contain the wrong hostname.

First delete the exsiting certificates:

rm -f /etc/courier/imapd.pem
rm -f /etc/courier/pop3d.pem

Then edit the template that contains the details for the ecrtificates so that the hostname in the certificate matches the hsotanme of your server and that the email address matches your postmaster email address:

vi /etc/courier/imapd.cnf
vi /etc/courier/pop3d.cnf

and create the new certificates:

mkimapdcert
mkpop3dcert

Courier pop3 and imap have to be restarted so they pick up the new certificates:

/etc/init.d/courier-imap-ssl restart
/etc/init.d/courier-pop-ssl restart

“Be brief, be pointed, let your matter stand lucid in order, solid and
at hand; spend not your words on trifles but condense; strike with the

once begun, and leave – how hard the task” – Joseph Story

The Ubuntu team is proud to announce the release of Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS,
the third maintenance update to Ubuntu’s 10.04 LTS release. This
